2018 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 4MATIC

This 2018 Mercedes-Benz C 300 is recorded with a “Left Rear” primary-damage designation. The visible damage supports that designation: the left rear quarter panel has pronounced deformation, deep creasing around and above the wheel arch, and extensive scraped or abraded paint. The lower rear section of the left rear door is also deformed, with horizontal creasing and scraped paint continuing into the rear door edge. The findings are classified as moderate collision damage. The assessment is based on the supplied images and does not establish the condition of concealed structural, suspension, wheel, tire, or mechanical components. A physical inspection should verify the wheel-arch area, quarter-panel structure, door operation and alignment, inner body panels, suspension, and wheel alignment before purchase or repair. NHTSA decoding identifies the vehicle as a Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan, VIN 55SWF4KB5JU262824, built in the United States. The supplied data lists a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder M274 engine, automatic transmission, and C300-4M trim designation. Official recall records supplied for this model year include campaigns involving the emergency-call communication module (21V058000, 22V365000, and 21V072000), front seat-belt retraction (21V032000), headlight adjustment (18V906000 and 21V509000), the 12-volt battery mounting or positive-terminal protection (19V586000 and 18V725000), rear-window bonding (18V608000), passenger air-bag status display (18V838000), and, where equipped with a panoramic sunroof, front roof-panel bonding (21V197000 and its expansion, 23V854000). The supplied records also include an air-bag grounding recall, 17V627000, for certain C300 4Matic vehicles. Recall completion status is not provided; the VIN should be checked with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer to confirm which campaigns apply and whether the remedies have been completed.
